Art Profile: The Covers of Terror Tales


From Wikipedia:

Terror Tales was originally published by Popular Publications. The first issue was published in September 1934.   One of the most successful horror magazines, it was joined shortly afterwards (1935) with its sister horror pulp, Horror Stories, also from the same publisher. Some of the writers whose work appeared in Terror Tales included E. Hoffmann Price, Wayne Rogers, Wyatt Blassingame (who later wrote nonfiction books for children), Ray Cummings, Paul Ernst, Arthur Leo Zagat and Arthur J. Burks. Rudolph Belarski provided several covers for the magazine. Terror Tales ceased publication in March 1941.

Below are just a few covers from Terror Tales.  When possible, the cover artist has been identified:
